FROM THE BEGINNING / LATEST UPDATE / CHAPTER LIST + SYNOPSIS / CHARACTER PAGE

Set in the shimmering haze of modern day Los Angeles, En Pointe follows the story of Evangeline, a young and determined ballet prodigy, and the elite dancers around her. En Pointe explores the euphoric yet dangerous reality of the professional ballet industry, and the complex dynamics of wealth, ambition, family, and power which underlie it.

allégro details.

01. Walk through the beautiful church Brooklyn Heights Ballet resides in, here; Eva's apartment street here (turn the right on Myrtle Avenue and you will stumble across Kingston Bakery).

02. My everlasting quest for Mako to look like the most stereotypical manhwa character continues. I have made *slight* progress. TS3's inability to create long, slanted eyes keep fucking me up. 03. A sweet illustration I found that inspired the rain scene. There's literally no other reason for the rain, I just wanted to recreate this one visual with Evako. 04. Bow Bridge in Central Park is a famous spot for lovers, often glimpsed in romantic movies. The 1862 cast iron bridge resembles the bow of an archer, or violinist. 05. Kogarashi is a poetic Japanese word: the first cold wind that signals the coming of winter. It is the name of the Hayashi's luxury hotel empire, which is inspired by Aman Resorts. 06. Zachari Rousseau is a 27 year old principal dancer at Brooklyn Heights Ballet. Trained at the Paris Opéra Ballet School, he is a winning alumnus of the Grand Prix, and quickly ascended the ranks of Brooklyn Heights. Once coveted for his ethereal youth, Rousseau remains popular amongst the ballet's wealthy donors, despite his slowly fading beauty.

And so I get up and complain loudly and knot my running shoes; and give myself away with a smile.

chapter 16: allégro

The onyx marble is cool under my bare feet. A thousand more gold petals suspend, silent, above; I have to crane my neck to see them all. Shadows and lustrous ink thread together in a palatial lounge that makes even the Steinway piano look tiny. For the briefest moment, I imagine young men in suits draped over the sunken sofas, ballerinas in sequins coming undone beneath the chrysanthemums, bloody wine dripping off the wings of porcelain cranes. But only one person lives here.  The vastness of Manhattan yawns beneath us.

What's your resolution for your Simblr?

I'm still very much "semi-retired", although there's plenty of story and sexy Evako edits I'm keen to do (if I can stop my stupid fuckin game from crashing every second, which is a real big ask). My one resolution is to finish Act III of En Pointe, and if I can wrestle out a few edits to go along with it, then that will be a successful year.

What do you want from the Sims Franchise?

📢 GIVE US SIMS 3 REMASTER 📢WHY DOES IT RUN BETTER ON MY BAKED POTATO LAPTOP THAN MY RGB GAMING PC 📢

Any other New Years Resolutions?

To finally become an Adult™️ and yeet to Melbourne, Australia! Here's my vision board I made for 2024 (minus the ✨manifesting✨):

CONGRATULATIONS BABBER

and welcome to your first day of ~FREEDOM~

I can't believe it's been probably? dunno can't math two whole years of getting to peek behind the wizard curtain and get to know The Real Lila™, but holy shit will I forever be grateful to jade for locking herself in a room with us getting us to interact, because you have genuinely been a bright spot in my life, and I am so proud to have been at the sidelines as you killed yourself every halloween girlbossed your uni course, grew as a person and became A Real Grownup™. And it has been a true honour to call you friend along the way. Anywayyyyyy. This Very Professional Collage is just a tiny snippet of our... chaos? together? ...I dunno I've run out of words love youuuu byyyyyyyye

[lazysunjade]

congratulations | @thesimperiuscurse

biggest congrats to the most ambitious babber I've ever met.

I had absolutely no idea that when I came flying into your inbox in *checks notes* 2016, that we would still be such close friends nearly seven years later. honestly it's been incredibly wild, having met you when you were literally an infant in high school, talking about all your big dreams. I never imagined that I would get to watch you actually grow up into them. looking back on everything, watching the transformation you have made as both as a person and artist, I feel incredibly honored for having gotten to be a part of your life. I couldn't have known it then, but it really was like adopting the little sister I never had. I was there when you graduated, when you got your bachelor's, when you opened your own studio, and it has been an emotional and inspirational voyage. now seeing you complete this next being milestone, seeing all the exciting possibilities laid out for you, I couldn't be more proud of the person you've become, and I'm thankful for all the things you've taught me along the way. I'm glad you decided to stick around here as long as you did, and I hope that when those days beyond simblr do come, we'll continue to stay in touch. I hope this new big accomplishment opens more doors for you, and that you'll continue striving for and succeeding in all your goals. and I hope you'll also keep a spot open for us clowns so we can have shenans for years to come. SO PROUD OF YOU BABBER. now for the love of god please rest and relax and enjoy this moment and get some motherloving SLEEP.

chapter 15: croisé

And here we are—halfway through—where summer wildflowers murmur across the valley and gather around three glimmering reflections of the Sierras. Every summer since I was 14, our family has trekked here, to this very place where my heels hover on the crest of the trail; and yet without fail, time stops moving; and I almost feel like I could fly.

In the June light he's ethereal, those golden irises and fine Italian features sculpted in Gucci editorials; yet his skin has turned earthy over the Los Angeles summer, a thousand freckles scattered over his nose, rooted plainly to the world in a way so different from our elite dancer circle. Misha Solano is free and beautiful as the wildflowers carpeting the mountains. I can see why Mako loves him so.

Last song: Chopin Nocturne op. 9 No. 2 (only because I was working to Mako's playlist at 11pm, in unfortunate Hayashi fashion) Favorite colour: Void Currently watching: Nothing, I am in the void Last movie: Oppenheimer—excellent movie, 9.5/10 only because I couldn't hear the dialogue, I like science Last book: My favourite book, My Side of the Mountain, for ~Eva nerd research purposes~ Sweet/savoury/spicy: Savoury Last thing Googled: "Auckland weather" (hoping it doesn't ruin my hanami picnic) Current obsession: I am literally floating in the void Currently working on: Rewriting scenes in Chapter 15 for a bit more emotional depth—this is technically Part 2 of the nice happy filler chapter before Eva flies off to New York!
